The 2013 Barbaresco Coparossa delivers a modern and upfront style with dark fruit, spice, cola and balsam herb intensity. The oak presence is more evident in this wine and still needs time to integrate. Plum, blackberry, allspice, cinnamon and cured tobacco emerge from the glass. Coparossa is velvety and rich in texture.

An elegant, lacy version, with cherry, strawberry and floral notes that match beautifully with the firm structure. Just needs a year or two. The minerally finish has grip. Best from 2017 through 2026. 315 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

This is an elaborate and sophisticated expression that does a great job of showcasing the quality of fruit farmed in this warm vintage. Bold structure and thick texture are followed by red cherry, rosemary bramble, spice and anise flavor. The wine is well integrated and balanced, albeit in a context that is shapely and opulent.

This is juicy and bright, with cherry, plum, anise and wild herb flavors. Features a vibrant core and broad, ripe tannins that envelop the finish. Accessible now, and should evolve quickly.

Showing an elegant and feminine side (despite the warm vintage), the 2011 Barbaresco Coparossa is approachable and ready to drink in the near- and medium-term. The wine is shaped by soft lines of pressed flowers, anise seed, crushed mineral and white pepper corn. It shows delineated, dusty tannins but it also shows a great deal of energy and tonic freshness on the close.
